We left Santiago de Cuba on the way south. Had to call into Jamaica to fix the freezer for a few days and did some land travel then on south to the San Blas to purchase a few Molas. We arrived in Shelter Bay Panama and had to wait for five days to get the paperwork organised before traversing the Canal.
We arrived in the Pacific and called into the anchorage to get the last of the fresh food before heading off to the Galapagos.
The Vietnamese crew left by mutual agreement - she would not have lasted past Panama. I now have a new crew who is more than willing to learn and help around the boat. Not interested in parting with any fellow in the vicinity. Welcome on board.
We have met up with Jack Tar and will sail in convey with them to the Galapagos. Great to be with sailing friends again.
A magical moment on Malua
The blog of HarryWS and my yacht Malua. We sailed Australia, the Pacific, Europe, Caribbean and USA. I built Malua in Canberra then cruised the Pacific through New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji and Vanuatu during 2004. Malua was in the Mediterranean in 2007 at the start of a cruise westwards round the world. After a trip up the French canals we crossed the Atlantic, cruised the Caribbean including Cuba. From the east coast of USA through the Panama canal to Galapagos then the wide Pacific to Australia.
